Cryx battle engine for Warmachine

Hi guys,

I know, you
though I was dead :-) but no, I was just too lazy (or
busy) to post anything. But anyway, I didn’t posted but I painted few things
since the last time.

So here is
my last big mini, my first for the Warmachine game. This one is not for me, it’s
a commission (when you know how slow I am it’s really weird to think that
somebody asked me to paint something for him with a short deadline :-) ).

This mini
was really a nightmare to build, I had a lot of problems. The resin was not
good, too much retardant in it so she was still soft on some parts and I had to
make a lot of arrangement to keep the mini standing.

The
painting step was more successful. It was the first time that I used a fluorescent
paint. Quite fun.

An advice
about the use of this kind of paint: put a basecoat of normal paint about the
same color (yellow in this case) because the fluorescent paint is really
transparent and you will lose less time building your effect.

I’m happy
with the final result, the green light effect is quite interesting and the
metal is realistic enough considering the time I had to spend on it.
